»Jede Tat hat eine Geschichte« Eva Herbergen ist Strafverteidigerin mit ganzer Seele. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, Menschen vor Strafe zu die berühmte Schriftstellerin, den gebrechlichen Millionär, die überforderte Stiefmutter. Sie weiß, es braucht nicht viel, dass aus einem Menschen ein Verbrecher wird, vielleicht sogar ein Mörder. Es genügt ein dunkler Moment, der die Wendung markiert – zum Opfer oder zum Täter. Auch Eva kämpft mit diesen Grenzen, die sie selbst schon überschritten hat, mit den blinden Flecken unserer moralischen Verurteilung. Mit jedem Fall, den Eva erzählt, in dem die Grenze zwischen Gerechtigkeit und Recht verschwimmt, lösen sich ihre Gewissheiten auf. Bis sie sich fragt, welche Konsequenzen sie ziehen muss.»Dunkle Momente« ist ein packender Roman über die ethischen und moralischen Dilemmata jedes Einzelnen, darüber, dass Recht und Gerechtigkeit nicht immer das Gleiche sind. Mit unbestechlichem Blick stellt Elisa Hoven die Eindeutigkeit infrage und zeigt, dass ein Mensch immer mehr ist als seine Tat.

From the internationally-bestselling author of Betty. Arcade and Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart.
